    "Now Showing"

    Here Be Spoilers: I didn't think that the film had ended after the poker game, because I remembered the Aston crash and the sinking house from the trailer. However, I think the film should have ended after the poker game. I'm all for this modern darker Bond, and I'll even permit him to...

    What are you reading?

    Perfume is great, i read that earlier this year and it's a really engrossing tale, the descriptions of 18th century Paris are sublime. IMDB page here! Have you tried Crichton's Prey, it's about nanobiotics so it's definitely recent technology! It's also seems as if it was written with the...

    "Now Showing"

    I saw the Prestige today and it was really rather good. It's a story of two magicians (Chritian Bale and Hugh Jackman) in Victorian London who are trying to outdo each other to find the most impressive illusion. Ultimately, this will consume then as the film rushes to it's heady conclusion and...

    X or Tatsu?

    Amen to that, I assume seeing as how I've somehow ended up in SFMM that it's a fantasy poll, so I'm not imaginging longs queues and stupid downtime. I'm imaginging a 200ft monster prototype that quite possibly is to Eejanaika what the Bat was to Vampire or Top Gun. Tatsu looks real good, but...

    What are you reading?

    I found rule of four disappointing, there was a lot of explanatory prose for what I thought was a terribly small pay off at the end. The book that I'm currently reading is Boris Johnson's "Seventy-Two Virgins" a political thriller set one morning in London as terrorists plan to assassinate...

    Tell me... Montu or Nemesis?

    I think it is clear that a lot of people are obviously unaware of how Mitch Hawker's poll works, or more importantly how the way it works affects the coasters. The fact that Nemesis owns all other steel coasters in the UK (it's 50 places higher than it's nearest rival, Air) doesn't actually give...

    Tell me... Montu or Nemesis?

    But Jake, surely that's a criticism you can level at Balder which has been rated as the best wooden coaster for the last two years! Also, UC, I disagree with the claim that Nemesis is overhyped because it's the UK's only world class ride. (We'll conveniently pretend that Grand National and...

    Tell me... Montu or Nemesis?

    When I went to Florida, I was expecting Montu to be the daddy of all coasters, and was surprised at how disappointing I found it. Whilst it is still a very good ride, it still lacks a certain something... I found the themeing on Montu to be distinctly average for a Florida park, whilst it...

    Least Favourite Alton Coaster

    RITA, it just offers less than the all the others.

    Bunjie jumping or Sky diveing.

    What clam said basically (apart from the being to fat to do it anymore part) Bungy Jumping is easily the scariest thing I've ever done and one of the hardest. Not only that, but it was over so quick I had no time to really enjoy it either. Skydiving on the other hand is a great sensation...
